Hudson, New York lies in the Hudson Valley about a two-hour train ride from Penn Station on Amtrak, with scenic Hudson River views en route. The town combines small-town simplicity with an energetic cultural and culinary scene. Warren Street hosts independent shops, galleries, antiques, and locally owned cafés. Hudson functions as a food destination with restaurants, bakeries, and specialty markets sourcing from nearby farms. Natural access is immediate, with forest trails, river access, and historic estates typically 10–15 minutes away. The Walkway over the Hudson, a linear park 212 feet over the river, is a standout attraction.
"One of my favorite getaway recommendations from New York City is Hudson, New York in the Hudson Valley," Victor Rivera, the general manager of LUMA Hotel Times Square, shared with Travel + Leisure. "It's only about a two-hour train ride from Penn Station on Amtrak, and the views of the Hudson River along the way already help you transition into a completely different pace of life."
"What I love most about Hudson is the balance it strikes between laid-back small-town simplicity and a surprisingly sophisticated cultural and culinary scene," Rivera said. "There's one main street-Warren Street-but it's filled with independent shops, galleries, antiques, and locally owned cafés. It's also somewhat of a food destination, with excellent restaurants, bakeries, and specialty markets that source directly from nearby farms. At the same time, you're never more than 10-15 minutes from a forest trail, river access, or a historic estate."
